Answer:

187.5

Explanation:

A=1/2(b+b)

=1/2x 25= 1/2x 25/1=25/2 then you have divide 25 divided by 2=

12.5 then you multuply 12.5 x 15

12.5x15 you first multiply 5x5=25 put the 2 in the top of the 2, then 5x2=10+2=12 then you put 1 over the 1( in the 12.5) then 5x1+1=6 which all together will be 625 then 1x5=5 1x2=2 and 1x1=1 wich it will be 625

+1250=187.5

Hope this helps

The formula for finding the area of a kite is (d1)(d2)/2. So d1 = 25. D2 = 15. 25 x 15 = 375. 375/2 = 187.5 so the area is A=187.5in². I hope this was helpful!
